REMOVING INVASIVE SPECIES TO HELP LOCAL WATERWAYS
By controlling invasive species, volunteers enable the growth of more beneficial native vegetation, thereby improving the ecosystem’s capacity to absorb stormwater runoff, and filter harmful contaminants from reaching the lakes, recharge aquifers, stabilize shorelines, mitigate erosion, and provide wildlife and pollinator habitat.
ABOUT THE EVENT
All volunteers are welcome, including chaperoned children. Tools, gloves, and training will be provided. We’ll review what plants we’re targeting and how our actions will improve water quality.
All volunteers are required to wear closed-toed shoes and pants. Long layers are recommended to best protect yourself from the sun, bugs, and scratches. We encourage you to bring a water bottle and sun protection.
Plan to meet at the Olbrich Playground, near the Botanical Gardens.
